Easter Eggs

Yesterday Jake helped dye and decorate Easter Eggs. He didn't really know what was going on but once he found out that you can drop the egg on the counter and it would crack he was on board. We also didn't stick with the stickers that came with the dye. We pulled out the Mickey Mouse stickers!!

Picking out the stickerPicking out the eggDecorating! (That's chocolate under his nose)
Jake also got to play with Faith and Ryan after school. Thank goodness the weather is getting warmer!
Rare moment to see Ryan actually getting a turn. Way to go Ryan!Faith and Jake helping Gary unload the Bobcat.

Emily's Dedication Weekend

Emily was dedicated at her church last weekend. We all had a great time but really missed Nana and Pop. They were sick and unable to make it but I think we took enough pictures to make them feel like that were actually there.

Spring Break with Aunt Suzanne

Aunt Suzanne had Spring Break last week and decided to take Jake with her to Nana and Pop's house for a couple of days. It was a nice break for Jamie and I but we were very excited to get to see him again Friday night in Charlotte. Aunt Suzanne did a great job of taking pictures so we didn't feel like we missed a thing.

First trip to see the DENTIST


Jake went to the dentist for the first time today and did GREAT!!! I couldn't have asked for any better. The nurses and dentist are wonderful. We've been reading him a book about the dentist for a while and it seemed to have been a great help.

AFTER the cleaning....he decided he better put on gloves like the nurse and clean the teeth again.

Our Christmas Present

We decided to get money for Christmas to brick up our front steps and we finally got it done. I guess new railing will be on our next Christmas list :)

Who do we pull for?

Jamie always asks Jake "who do we pull for?" Jake usually yells CLEMSON and then give a big high five. I don't agree with the answer said but it's very cute to watch. However, this time Aunt Suzanne had a little bit of a say so in it and this is what he said...
